We all loved our stay, despite the weather. The lodges were clean, comfortable and very spacious. Grandchildren had a brilliant time with the outdoor space, swimming & dry sledging. Would have loved more time but we will certainly be back as there is so much we haven’t done. Local people & shop staff were very helpful and friendly. ##### Kathleen Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Aug 2, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Not bad The cabin we rented was in a large resort complex. Where and how to check in was a bit confusing. The cabin was roomy, comfortable enough and quiet but lacked some basic items in the kitchen that would have made eating there easier. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sarah Feb 9, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Just a brilliant long weekend.

It had everything we needed and was comfortable accommodation for 6 adults. The only thing i could really fault was it could do with a little freshen up of paint. ##### Pauline Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### allan Jun 17, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Not our first time and not our last at the Woodland lodges. Great deal for families or groups. Lodge is roomy and well maintained. In the heart of Aviemore, easy to walk the strip. Had great weather so walked everyday. Breakfast buffet welcome start to the day. ##### allan Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Stephen Jan 20, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### Room for improvement, but very comfortable. Our week in Lodge 4 was lovely, but we had some thoughts on simple things that could have made it excellent. Firstly, staying midwinter means lots of coats and wet shoes are likely, but there were no coathooks anywhere in the lodge, only a tiny doormat, no shoe rack or tray. There's plent of space for all these things and they're not expensive to put in, and would have made a huge difference. Secondly, the kitchenette was as described (basic), but if you provide a microwave comi oven, pyrex-type dishes for cooking in it ought to be provided too. We had to use the crockery and pray it didn't crack (it didn't). There was a persistent drawing smell in the main bathroom too, so a little tlc on the plumbing would be good. But having said all that, we had a really comfortable week, and having the convenience of restaurant, bar, gym and pool onsite, as well as Tesla chargers was exactly what we wanted, with the privacy of an exclusive and spacious lodge. Would definitely consider staying again in the winter. ##### Stephen Stayed 7 nights in Jan 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Billie Jun 22, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service #### It could be amazing, but… It has the makings of a great resort but falls short on so many levels. It’s really tired with the woodland lodges in need of a refurb. Things like loose tiles in the bathroom, faded/worn carpets / kitchen cupboards misshaped and not closing properly. Kitchen facilities in the lodge also weren’t great. No oven for cooking, no knives for chopping food, pans were dirty in the cupboard too. There were no cushions on the couches in the lodge for added comfort and a rug underfoot would have been appreciated. The staff were friendly enough but just didn’t go the extra mile where needed. We requested a high chair in the lodge for our baby but they forgot and when I asked again they said they couldn’t get one until the next day. I then suggested that maybe they could borrow from one of their 3 restaurants. They then managed to organise this but no one was available to deliver to the lodge for me. I had to carry the high chair from the hotel to the lodge whilst carrying an 8 month old baby. As I said, their were friendly, helpful when prompted but just a bit thoughtless in their delivery. Great woodland area for our little boy to explore but things like fallen fences and barbed wire should be taken care of maintenance. The team in the kids activity centre were really friendly and the pool / soft play were nice and clean. This was the reason I booked this place but I don’t think I’d return again until a refurbishment takes place. ##### Billie Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### sarah May 30, 2025 Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities They put us in a two bed instead of the three bed we booked. It took three hours to fix this problem while we had to wait. We then stayed in the three bed lodge but weren’t supplied with firewood for the fire and it was the noisiest house we have ever stayed in - we couldn’t flush the toilets because of the extreme noise it made and all of the floorboards upstairs and downstairs creaked terribly so sleep was very difficult. ##### sarah Stayed 2 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lorna Apr 4, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Enjoyable stay in lodge 3 5 friends staying in the lodges from Fri-Sun, very comfortable and clean.

Will definitely be back! ##### Theresa Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Margaret-Anne Mar 15, 2022 Liked: Staff & service, room comfort #### magic magic ##### Margaret-Anne Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### colin Mar 3, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### Aviemore Very comfortable although getting a little tired round the edges.

But overall a great 5 night stay ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/BE35626B5038589B255614A31CC50D7BD9EB5B851645938633778.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/42516489F230540AED25085CA15798AE0689D4281645938631187.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/10A3097B47075631D9652E4AEA6083F9B2B202D61645938633838.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Lee Stayed 5 nights in Feb 2022 ### 6/10 Okay #### Scott Dec 31, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Lodge is a bit tired and worn e.g. kitchen units, bathroom sink etc. Could do with some refurbishment. Kids club distinctly underwhelming ##### Scott Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2021 ### 8/10 Good #### Allison Sep 22, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The lodges are large, well situated and generally have good facilities. They are a bit tired looking now though and would benefit from some upgrading. However the standard of cleanliness was high. I would stay again taking everything into account. Had a fab holiday. ##### Allison Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Raymond Oct 3, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great place to stay in Aviemore 3 bedroom lodge was perfect for 4 adults and 2 dogs. Plenty of space and great that all bedrooms were en-suite. Location was great and the woodland setting was perfect ##### Raymond Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2020 ### 6/10 Okay #### Paul Sep 19, 2020 Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Overpriced “luxury” Stayed in lodges and these must have been amazing in their day but the state of the lodge is like a run down caravan. The resort itself although clean disappointed in all areas leaving the impression that the place is looking run down. There are areas shut down. Large areas not covered by street lighting due to them not working, leaving pathways in darkness, left feeling unsafe. The lodges are next to walking route so you have meandering people walking past. The lodge itself although impressive with the en-suite rooms has a tiny kitchen for the space in the cabin, certainly wouldn’t like to cook for a cabin at capacity. There was no instructions or info left to help, perhaps email would have been good due to Covid. There were lights out in neatly every room, inside and out and walking round you could see others had similar issues. The ceiling in the rooms and bathroom are showing signs of disrepair. Toilet handles loose, mould in showers, ripped furniture, outside steps not even. Certainly not worth the money charging and looking at the hotel, wasn’t impressed so wouldn’t look to rush to book in here. ![Bathroom ceiling](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/ACDAF204C5AD5C7B163CC28EF00E0A5191B42E8A1600516840303.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Bathroom floor](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/527AF7B10DC2644BAC8D31B984D17A05A5FDA8DA1600516840309.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Spacious](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/7B160A4F325B3B3DD2826A8EB184D67578E1A7411600516840414.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Tired kitchen](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/F365D3DA82A2B756D3A756C137B82A0A18DF97E41600516840447.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Paul Stayed 7 nights in Sep 2020 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Sep 19, 2020 Liked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Slightly dated but clean, tidy and comfortable.

Difficult situation because of COVID and check ins could have been staggered a little to avoid the queuing. Breakfast is only decent but the staff were exceptionally helpful and friendly. ##### colin Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Sep 9, 2020 Clean spacious accomodation. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Hamza Aug 16, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### perfect get away we stayed here for 2 nights everything was perfect nice clean and warm lodge private and secure. Got breakfast in the rooms as requested due to covid super happy ##### Hamza Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2020 ### 4/10 Poor #### Adele Aug 14, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness #### Disappointing We booked 3 nights in the Woodland Lodge. It was extremely expensive for 3 nights and it looked nothing like the photo on the website. I spent most of my time in a queue at the hotel reception raising issues. We were supposed to have wifi, we didn't have it for the whole visit due to a router issue which they clearly knew about before we arrived, the kettle broke, the safes didn't work in two of the rooms and although check in was at 3pm we didn't get access till 5 on the first day. These lodges are very close to the A9 so there is quite a bit of noise. The staff were pleasant and tried to help but I have to say for the amount we paid for a luxury lodge we were disappointed. ##### Adele Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2020 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Holiday Inn Glasgow Airport by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Paisley-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Glasgow-Airport.h809324.Hotel-Information) > > [No Man's Fort](https://www.expedia.ca/Portsmouth-Hotels-No-Mans-Fort.h11536410.Hotel-Information) > > [Mercure Northampton](https://www.expedia.ca/Northampton-Hotels-Park-Inn-By-Radisson-Northampton-Town-Centre.h12543.Hotel-Information) > > [Old Course Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/St-Andrews-Hotels-Old-Course-Hotel.h522846.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton by Hilton Hamilton Park](https://www.expedia.ca/Hamilton-Hotels-Hampton-By-Hilton-Hamilton-Park.h33810078.Hotel-Information) > > [The Green Hotel Golf & Leisure Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Kinross-Hotels-The-Green-Hotel-Golf-Leisure-Resort.h1130671.Hotel-Information) > > [Pinewood Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Ibstock-Hotels-Pinewood-Lodge.h17183221.Hotel-Information) > > [Delta Hotels by Marriott Peterborough](https://www.expedia.ca/Peterborough-Hotels-Peterborough-Marriott-Hotel.h691233.Hotel-Information) > > [Bloc Hotel London Gatwick Airport](https://www.expedia.ca/Gatwick-Hotels-Bloc-Hotel-London-Gatwick-Airport.h6594190.Hotel-Information) > > [Heated indoor pool & spa, countryside holiday cottage near the beach & park](https://www.expedia.ca/Hastings-Hotels-Heated-Indoor-Pool-Spa.h18971402.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton London Gatwick Airport](https://www.expedia.ca/Gatwick-Hotels-Hilton-London-Gatwick-Airport.h20753.Hotel-Information) > > [Bonkle House](https://www.expedia.ca/Wishaw-Hotels-Bonkle-House.h15996183.Hotel-Information) > > [Pennyhill Park Hotel And Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Bagshot-Hotels-Pennyhill-Park-Hotel-And-Spa.h517256.Hotel-Information) > > [Windermere Manor Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Windermere-Hotels-Windermere-Manor-Hotel.h22280374.Hotel-Information) > > [Travelodge Gatwick Airport Central](https://www.expedia.ca/Gatwick-Hotels-Travelodge-Gatwick-Airport-Central.h10160516.Hotel-Information) > > [Uig Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Portree-Hotels-Uig-Hotel.h2261957.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express Hamilton by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Hamilton-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Hamilton.h1889137.Hotel-Information) > > [Luxury Beach House Rental with Hot Tub, 30 meters to Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Looe-Hotels-Luxury-Beach-House-Rental-With-Hot-Tub.h27313935.Hotel-Information) > > [The Stirling Highland Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Stirling-Hotels-The-Stirling-Highland-Hotel.h558482.Hotel-Information) > > [The Harlow Hotel By AccorHotels](https://www.expedia.ca/Harlow-Hotels-The-Harlow-Hotel-By-AccorHotels.h950.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson BLU Hotel Durham](https://www.expedia.ca/Durham-Hotels-Radisson-BLU-Hotel-Durham.h2226171.Hotel-Information) > > [Days Inn by Wyndham Hamilton](https://www.expedia.ca/Hamilton-Hotels-Days-Inn-By-Wyndham-Hamilton.h3924670.Hotel-Information) > > [JA Mar Hall Scotland](https://www.expedia.ca/Bishopton-Hotels-Mar-Hall-Golf-Spa-Resort.h1077249.Hotel-Information) > > [Park Inn by Radisson Peterborough](https://www.expedia.ca/Peterborough-Hotels-Park-Inn-By-Radisson-Peterborough.h2254377.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express Glasgow Airport by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Paisley-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Glasgow-Airport.h519994.Hotel-Information) > > [Unique Luxury Escapes](https://www.expedia.ca/Diss-Hotels-Unique-Luxury-Escapes.h29745570.Hotel-Information) > > [Atholl Palace Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Pitlochry-Hotels-Atholl-Palace-Hotel.h63637.Hotel-Information) > > [Perle Oban Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Oban-Hotels-Perle-Oban-Hotel-Spa.h993007.Hotel-Information) > > [The Garrison](https://www.expedia.ca/Fort-William-Hotels-The-Garrison.h24101351.Hotel-Information)
